N.C.S. Colour Coding System
The colour classification does not always give the precise colour of a cultivar. It is merely a general classification to assist chrysanthemum growers and to facilitate the grouping of cultivars for purposes of exhibition. It would be impracticable to seperate all the different colour tints, and thus cultivars which could be said to be orange are classified under yellow, apricot comes under salmon, and so on.
Key to Colour Classification
| W = White | DP = Deep Pink | LR = Light Red |
| Cr = Cream | LS = Light Salmon | R = Red |
| LY = Light Yellow | S = Salmon | DR = Deep Red |
| Y = Yellow | DS = Deep Salmon | LPu = Light Purple |
| DY = Deep Yellow | LB = Light Bronze | Pu = Purple |
| LP = Light Pink | B = Bronze | DPu = Deep Purple |
| P = Pink | DB = Deep Bronze | OC = Other Colours (Green etc.) |
